If you want to send sensitive data over the net, you need to make sure it’s safe. With the growing threat of identity theft and frauds these days, one has to be sure and doubly sure that sensitive data are transferred safely. This is where Silver Key comes in.
Silver Key encrypts files and produces self-extracting encrypted files, which can be sent safely over the Internet. The good thing about this software is that no crypto software needs to be installed on the receiving side, so it’s real easy to use. Silver Key supports Windows drag-and-drop and can compress data before encryption. Another cool feature is the Integrated file shredder which is included in this application.
Silver Key supports automated batch processing and it is ideally suitable for corporate usage.The publisher claims that, “ if you want to protect your data according to the HIPAA privacy regulations, our software lets you easily incorporate HIPAA-compliant encryption. Silver Key is the silver bullet for secure file transfer. It is a single-click solution if you want it simple, and offers a rich set of features when you want more power”.
Is this really true? You’ll be the judge of that, you can try out Silver Key for 30 days before making any financial commitment.

Hackers have begun cashing in on the Virginia Tech university tragedy by spamming out malware-infected emails purporting to offer cameraphone footage of the attack which resulted in more than 30 deaths.
Email messages carry a photograph of gunman Cho Seung Hui and claim to link to a Brazilian movie website carrying footage of the campus shootings. But clicking on the link downloads a malicious screensaver file which installs a banking spyware Trojan. (more…)

If you need your passwords to be safe you’ll need a safe. That’s what Password Safe is all about.
Password Safe is a password database utility where users can keep their passwords securely encrypted on their computers. The cool thing about this very useful tool is that just a single Safe Combination unlocks all your passwords so you don’t have to cram different combinations for different passwords.

- If the PWS_PREFSDIR environment variable is defined, that’s where the pwsafe.cfg file will be read from, instead of the same directory as the executable
- List view columns now selectable, entries sortable by any column,
- Tree view may be configured to show all groups first, instead of strict alphabetic order
- Fixed: No longer crashes after you specify to remember 0 databases

Image for Windows is a backup and restore utility that creates a snapshot of an entire partition or volume to a set of files or directly to most DVD+RW or CD-R/RW drives. If something should ever happen to that partition or volume, you’ll be able to simply restore the snapshot image.
The program uses the technology available in the free PHYLock™ add-on utility. PHYLock™ allows you to continue using your computer while the backup is locked to a point-in-time. This eliminates the inconsistencies typically experienced while backing up a partition that is in use.
Here are a couple of the features that make this software a must have and a better option than most in its category:
- Total reliability – Provides the option to verify each and every byte it backs up
- Convenience – Runs directly from Windows and when used with the free PHYLock™ add-on, it can create a true image of the Windows partition itself, without requiring a reboot
- Maximum compression – By default, maximum compression is applied to the drive images you create
- Maximum speed – If backup speed is paramount, you can bypass compression entirely
- Optical drive support – You can save directly to a CD or DVD disc
- Cost effectiveness – Includes Image for DOS and Linux at no additional charge, making it a uniquely affordable and complete disk imaging solution
- Flexibility – Restore partitions, regardless of the file system on the partition being restored. This gives you the power to restore NTFS partitions from Windows 98 or even DOS (as just a couple examples)
- Network support – Save backups to any drive accessible to Windows itself
- Image file validation – Allows you to check the integrity of the disk image files, either as part of the backup process, or at any time thereafter
- Selectable image file sizes – If desired, you can specify a maximum size for the disk image files that are created (to a maximum of 2,047 MB). This allows you to create image files that readily fit on the removable media of your choice
And so much more.

Need reliable software to advise you on the state of your installed software and hardware? This software may be just what you need, it’s called Belarc Advisor.
Belarc Advisor builds a detailed profile of your installed software and hardware, including Microsoft Hotfixes, anti-virus status etc and displays the results in your Web browser. The really cool thing about the way Belarc Advisor works is that all your PC profile information is kept private on your PC and is not sent to any web server.
One thing I like about Belarc Advisor is that, unlike other software that the publishers leave to figure things on your own, on the official site [http://www.belarc.com/free_download.html] the publishers have an FAQ section that can help you enjoy the software easily.
For example, if you have a question like: “The Advisor has installed and finished a discovery of my PC’s hardware and software, but I do not see any results”.
On the site, you will find a great answer like:
“Check that Windows is set to open files with the HTML extension in your web browser. To do this, in the Folder Options windows control panel look at the File Types tab. Select the HTML Document file type and check that it opens with your preferred web browser”.
If that doesn’t work for you, open this file: C:\Program Files\Belarc\Advisor\System\tmp\(COMPUTERNAME).html
(where COMPUTERNAME is the name of your PC) using the File|Open… menu in your web browser.
Really making things easier right?
Want to check out the software? Did I fail to mention that it’s free!!! Yeah it’ll cost you $0.
Go to http://www.belarc.com/free_download.html to see for yourself what it’s all about and get a free download.

Face it, who really reads the EULA’s ( End User License Agreement) in software they install? Most of us just scroll ahead and click “Accept”. But it’s something we all should do because if we don’t, we can eventually wind up with all kinds of spyware on our computers that could lead to serious problems.This program analyses the EULA and picks out suspicious text in it, letting you know if there’s anything you don’t want to agree to, such as installing adware or transmitting personally identifiable information etc.
A useful tool for anyone who cares about their privacy and doesn’t fancy going to law school in order to figure out what the five minutes of reading an EULA just meant!
Its free, get it here.
